Effect of fructooligosaccharide supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota stress index carcass quality and meat quality of broiler

Effect of fructooligosaccharide supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota stress index carcass quality and meat quality of broiler

Abstract

Supplementing broilers with different levels of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) under stress conditions, such as higher stocking densities and recycled litter that were not a significant difference in broiler performance, carcass quality and meat quality between the FOS-supplemented groups and the control group (p>0.05). FOS supplementation improved intestinal health by increasing the villus height to crypt depth ratio Lactobacillus populations increased, and Escherichia coli decreased with FOS supplementation. The heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was reduced which indicated lower stress.

Objective

การใช้ยาต้านจุลชีพส่งผลเสียเป็นอย่างมากโดยทำให้เชื้อทนทานต่อยาเเละตกค้างในเนื้อสัตว์ได้ ปัจจุบันผู้ส่งออกไก่ใช้น้อยลงหรือไม่ใช้พราะบาง ประเทศห้ามใช้ จึงได้มีการนำสารทีมีความปลอดภัยมาใช้ทดแทนยาต้านจุลชีพ พรีไบโอติก ได้เเก่ FOS เป็นหนึ่งในสารเสริมที่เป็นอาหารของจุลินทรีย์ดีที่มีประโยชน์ในลําไส้ ซึ่งช่วยปรับสภาพเเวดล้อมภายในลำไส้ให้ไก่มีสมรรถนะการเจริญเติบโต สัณฐานวิทยาของลำไส้ ภูมิคุ้ม รวมถึงคุณภาพเนื้อเเละซากให้ดีขึ้นได้"

Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

The forest firefighting suit consists of the following components and uses: The forest firefighting suit is designed and developed to be suitable for the behavior of the officers and the conditions of the work area, consisting of a shirt and pants. The material used in the sewing of the suit is aramid fabric, which has the property of being able to prevent the spread of fire, to prevent the officers from burning while performing their duties in the event that the forest fire spreads close to them, which is different from the current suits that cannot prevent fires. The shirt is designed with a mesh on the side of the body to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The sleeves at the elbows have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The collar has a slot for a portable fan and a fan air circulation channel on the back, which can be turned on while performing forest firefighting duties, helping to prevent the body temperature from getting too hot, reducing the risk of heatstroke. When the fan battery runs out, it can be removed for charging and put back in when needed. The pants are designed with mesh on the inside or in blind spots to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The pants at the knees have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The forest firefighting suit, consisting of a shirt and pants, has been designed and developed to be able to be produced domestically, reducing imports from abroad

Website design to help graduates manage food expenses and compliance with proper nutritional principles

With the current cost of living situation in Thailand continuously rising, many recent graduates face challenges in managing their expenses in alignment with the increasing living costs. Food expenses, even for common street food, continue to surge with no sign of decreasing, despite improvements in raw material costs. Pay-Attention is a website platform designed to help recent graduates gain insights into managing and optimizing their food expenses effectively. It provides guidance on how to spend wisely, ensuring cost-effectiveness while maintaining adequate daily nutritional intake, without falling into monotonous eating habits.

Study on the Production Process and Shelf-Life Preservation of Plant-Based Crab Cake under Refrigerated Conditions (Lab Scale)

Plant-based refers to food or products that are primarily made from plants. It can be divided into two categories: one is food that comes entirely from plants and does not include any animal products, and the other is food that contains small amounts of animal products, such as products that contain milk and eggs in limited quantities, which may also be considered part of the definition of plant-based. Plant-based meat products that closely resemble real meat and attract consumers are considered a relatively new innovation. Although tofu, tempeh, and seitan have been around for a long time, recent discoveries have led to the production of plant-based meat products that provide a sensory experience, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between real meat and plant-based meat. Furthermore, the development of plant-based food products must prioritize quality and safety to maximize consumer benefits. Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a plant-based protein made from soybeans using an extruder. It is used as a primary ingredient in the production of plant-based food products due to several advantages. These include: • High Protein Content: TVP is made from soybeans with the fat extracted, resulting in a high protein content. • Texture: When rehydrated, TVP has a texture that closely resembles meat. • Versatility: TVP has a neutral flavor, allowing it to easily absorb the flavors of various seasonings and sauces. • Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other protein sources, TVP is relatively inexpensive while providing desirable characteristics. These benefits make TVP an attractive option in the production of plant-based foods. This study focuses on developing TVP into a plant-based crab cake and investigating the shelf life of the product in a tightly sealed container under refrigeration. It also analyzes the hygiene and cleanliness of the production process and how these factors affect the presence or growth of microorganisms that may pose a risk to consumers, referencing the cold food safety standards of Thailand. Finally, recommendations for cleaning operational areas will be provided to establishments as a guideline for developing preliminary food safety procedures in laboratory settings.
